Oxfam Bookshop Bloomsbury

The local Oxfam bookshop sited amongst the ghost of ‘Literary’ Bloomsbury might well be overwhelmed with a burden of expectations. Not surprisingly, this is well stocked and catalogued over the spectrum of genres with a high incidence of more obscure and less obvious titles. Prices be reasonable, condition good, curation on point with unobtrusive but informed staff. Commendable

Loved everything. Found 4 very nice and diverse books and a poster and spent £10.50. Recommend 1000%

We always stop by this bookshop during trips to London to find books for our home! This last trip, we scored two hardback books for £3 each and were overjoyed. These go between £3 and £15 usually, more if the book is in excellent condition. You really have to look hard to find gems, but once you do you’ll be thrilled. There’s everything from books on cooking, design, photography, pets, business, history, politics and more.

A VERY special Oxfam! A nice surprise at Tottenham Court in London! Oxfam is a charity shop with a cause (and who doesn’t love a cause?) I love London charity shops. Oxfam is all around town. I was just surprised to see it so close to Oxford shopping. This one is a bit small but rent here is probably sky high. But that’s not the surprise. The surprise is that this is an Oxfam book store!! They have some pretty old books here and it does smell like grandpas sweater with mothballs. Prices are a bit high but if you find something, it’s a gem!

Wow. So many collections of books! And if you are a postcard lover, this is heaven! You can find so may beautiful postcards with 10p each. Wonderful!

This bookstore is a nice place with a broad selection of different kinds of books. I found Lucinda Riley The missing sister and Richard Osman The Thursday Murder Club -and I am really happy about it. The prices are reasonable, each book cost 3 pounds.

Great second-hand bookshop with a wide variety (and a lot of the stuff is actually brand new)! Also, sometimes have advanced copies of books, and they put them out at half price on the day that they are published. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the stock (and great for a student budget!). Good shop for browsing. Sometimes have some cool artwork and ephemera out for sale.

Great bookshop, with a wide selection of categories. Very enjoyable to browse as it's well organised and spacious. Helpful and friendly staff too.

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this bookshop before, seeing as it has become my go-to place when I'm in the market for a book (which is always). It does what it says on the tin - it's a second hand book shop, run by Oxfam. The beauty of it lies in the fact that: a) it's pretty big for a charity shop and seems to have books on every subject (seriously) b) it sometimes stocks uncorrected proofs of books that have very recently been published, which means that it manages to be a 2nd hand bookshop that stocks current bestsellers c) it's almost never busy. It's well worth a visit - happy reading!

This Oxfam is a bookstore, as the categorizing above implies. Hmmm what to say about it besides "It has books, tomes, novels, literature, reading material, bound documents..." Maybe I could say "It also has a wide selection beers on tap and wines in bottles," but then I'd be fibbing. There is a surprising good selection of books here well organized into section. There was even one fashion book, which is unusual for secondhand bookshops. There was a good chunk of travel guides and, of course, infinite walls of fiction. The prices are good, the money helps out those in need, what more motivation do you need? (Okay, but a free ice cream waiting at the other end, but let's ignore that for now because there's no such thing as a free lunch and you'd be taking money away from those who need it more.)
